Here is a cut from a story about a fatal truck wreck in Wisconsin. The fact that they can use GPS data in trials is enough to keep one out of my truck.

W....s said GPS data showed that K...i, who made the Munster, Ind. to St. Paul, Minn. route three times a week, had returned from a delivery at 8:45 p.m. Friday night.

By 11:30 p.m. Kozlowski is alleged to have been at a bar in Indiana where he met up with Michelle K...e.>>>
